Thoughts on Perl and Emacs, technology and writing

Interesting Emacs Links – 2009 Week 11

It has been two weeks since the last time I did a round-up of emacs news. That previous post is still 20th on emacs reddit. Is there really so little emacs-related news of note?

Mr Michael Will demonstrates how to fill a paragraph in SGML-mode where presumably there aren’t any convenient line breaks to prevent it from filling the entire buffer. I’d also mention C-x ( ... C-x ) to record a macro if it is something you’re doing a lot, or even add a binding to fill-region-as-paragraph.

No worries Marc 🙂 I’m not sure if the patch is still applicable but it is something I was thinking of looking into as an alternative way of working around having multiple perforce client configurations. The problem is described in myEmacs users, what is your $EDITOR post.
